Seance for a Vampire

Rating:
Summary: A bit farfetched
Review: I bought this book because I was blown away by his alternative telling of 'Frankenstein' (which appears, tragically, to be out of print.) It didn't live up to my first taste of Saberhagen, and so disappointed me.... but as a representative of the vampire and Holmesian genres, it's an original entry and a pleasant light read.

Summary: Not Saberhagen's best, but still worthy

Summary: A bit farfetched
Review: I really hate to say this, because I've never given anyone less than four stars, but I wasn't really impressed with this book. I found it a bit farfetched that Dracula was related to Holmes, and it added many complicating elements to the story. But overall, it was a decent book, and certainly not the worst I've ever read. I suppose if you're really into vampires and such like that you might be interested, but I don't believe in the supernatural (unless you count God) and I don't think that Holmes would either.

Summary: Extremely well written
Review: I think that this book was well written and has alot of detail. This author has a very vivid imagination and has used it well. I think that it is material that could be made into movie. I very much enjoyed the book and would recommend it to anyone who like mysteries. The book does move a little slow in the beginning, but it picks up soon enough.
